SQE2 Preparation
Who is it for?
Candidates who have passed SQE1 and are looking for SQE2 preparation or LPC graduates who are looking to qualify by passing SQE2 and QWE in lieu of a training contract.
Course overview
Everything you need to get SQE2 ready, in a single comprehensive course. The secret to your success? Practise, practise, practise. You’ll be supported throughout with comprehensive materials to complete 100 hours of independent online study, as well as attending hands-on interactive workshops, making sure you’re on track with personalised feedback that leaves no room for weakness. By the end, you’ll be confident and ready to pass the SQE.

- Case and matter analysis
- Client interviewing and attendance note/legal analysis
- Advocacy
- Legal research
- Legal writing

You will cover the following topics:

Independent study
- Work through online materials, including workbooks, examples, recordings and practice questions
- Explore the SRA assessment structure and marking criteria
- Client Interviewing and Attendance Note Writing
- Gain insight into the legal skills and how they should be used in practice
- Submit written skills diagnostic assessments that will help measure the development of your skills against the SQE2 assessment criteria
The time it takes to work through the online materials will depend upon your previous knowledge and experience. However, we would recommend spending a month (full-time) on these study materials before participating in the live workshops.
Live coaching workshops
· Participate in oral skills diagnostic tests (day 1). From this, and your written skills diagnostic assessments, you’ll receive personalised feedback which highlights the areas you need to consolidate and/or focus on developing
· Participate in assessment-focused workshops
· Conduct mock assessments that broadly emulate the tasks given in the centralised SQE2 assessment
After completing the course
You’ll receive your feedback report with a personal development plan. This gives guidance on how to consolidate your learning and prepare for the SQE2 assessment.
